Hello, I've sent an email to the webmaster, and here is my corresponding post to sign up myself and my brother for the tour!

I actually met a few forum members this past summer at the Chopin Etudes recital in Ashburnham, and they kindly invited me to stop lurking and join the forum. Well it's taken a bit of time but I finally registered so that I could join this tour. I expect it's going to be a great time!

My brother Chris and I are both "Adult Returners", who took lessons as kids and then mostly ignored it. We're in our thirties and have been rather obsessed with the piano for 9 or 10 months now. We are borrowing/caretaking an old Marshall & Wendell baby grand piano with brutally heavy action and a gorgeous (and loud) tone. The piano might be taken from us soon, and so we have an ongoing discussion about piano options for the future. So thanks for organizing this tour Piano World!

Welcome Steve,

Glad you finally decided to join the forums.See you at the M&H tour in the spring.

Steve, good to see you and your brother have decided to join our online piano community since it is apparent you are both pianoholics!! It was great meeting you both at the Frederick's concert. John Citron was the other forum member in attendance.

I know you'll enjoy the very informative tour at M&H. We are fortunate to have such an event so close to home along with the Frederick's concerts and study center tours and our piano gatherings at Larry Buck's shop in Lowell. I'm hoping we can combine all for a spectacular spring gathering event!

We are looking forward to seeing all of you who will be coming to this year's Mason & Hamlin factory tour. Although the tour is about a week later than it has been in previous years, we hope that the new date will give more of you a chance to visit us in Haverhill.

Terrytunes wrote to me last month about the 2008 tour and I know that she is working with the Fredericks and Larry Buck to put together some fun piano events for you to enjoy and be a part of before and after the factory tour. It should be a great time for everyone who loves the piano.

Don't forget to practice for the after-tour recital, where you share your piano talents with the PianoWorld family. Bring your own music, play from memory or play by ear. You bring your fingers, we'll supply the Mason & Hamlin pianos.

HI. My name is Andrea and I would love to attend the M&H factory tour. I have sent an e-mail to the webmaster. Please let me know if there is anything else I should do/know about signing up for the tour! Thanks!
